Chapter 2. Technical description 19
During channel initialization (if connected to a cascaded environment) the high integrity
feature will be checked to ensure Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, by using a new
command (Query Security Attributes). If this feature is not present or enabled, channel
initialization will not continue.
Section 5.2, “Activating the High Integrity feature” on page 48, describes how to establish
Fabric Binding.
2.1.7 Control Unit Port (CUP)
The CUP is supported by the McDATA Intrepid FICON Directors, and is known as FICON
Management Server (Feature Code 6302 for the Intrepid 6064 or Feature Code 6003 for the
Intrepid 6140). The CUP function allows z/OS or OS/390 to manage the Director with the
same level of control and security as it is known from an ESCON switch. Host communication
includes control functions like blocking/unblocking ports, as well as monitoring and error
reporting functions.
System Automation (SA) I/O-Ops V2.1 includes support for FICON Native (FC) channels and
FICON Directors. APAR OW47972 is required to correct a problem with the FICON Director
support.
SA I/O-Ops V1.3 adds support for FICON Native (FC) channels and FICON Directors with
APAR OW40040 (PTFs UW69057 for RA30 and UW69058 for RA3U). APAR OW48434 is
also recommended.
Before using I/O-Ops within a FICON configuration, check the latest maintenance
recommendations in the product’s PSB buckets.

for this function to work.
